Review: B. Tonight's episode is definitely one of the better Lisa episodes. It utilizes Lisa's smart side without being WAY too political and it isn't one of those episodes where Lisa is deprived of attention (i.e. Make Room for Lisa, Bart vs. Lisa vs. the Third Grade). Plus, there were a few good jokes in the main plot (i.e. the lesbian sister colleges, Milhouse in Lisa's fantasy) Also good was the sub-plot where Homer becomes addicted to Ribwiches. The only negative part was ending. Basically, the Spellympics got what they want (a cute kid winning the competition) with Lisa being defeated by her spelling error. Despite the town being happy about Lisa's second place performance, it was still a major letdown.
